Some of you may have noticed in the news that Catholic journalist (and regular outspoken critic of humanism/secularism/atheism/anything godless) Christina Odone has written a pamphlet claiming faith schools are under threat from "a government … aligning itself with a stridently secularist lobby".

What bothers me more than anything about commentators such as Christina Odone, Melanie McDonagh, pick a religious columnist, is that they seem utterly incapable of taking the facts and building an argument. I'd respect them but disagree if they could actually build a reasonable case, but despite their intelligence, I never find one.
